<span>First, apply Newton's second law of motion: F = ma.
Force equals mass times acceleration.
This law describes force as the product of mass multiplied by acceleration (which is different from velocity). As acceleration is the variation in velocity over time,
we have force = (mass * velocity) / time,
leading us to conclude that (mass * velocity) / time will equal momentum / time.
Hence, we derive the equation mass * velocity = momentum.
Momentum = mass * velocity.
For the elephant, with a mass of 6300 kg and velocity of 0.11 m/s,
Momentum = 6300 * 0.11,
resulting in P = 693 kg (m/s).
For the dolphin, having a mass of 50 kg and moving at 10.4 m/s,
Momentum = 50 * 10.4,
yielding P = 520 kg (m/s).
Thus, the elephant has a greater momentum (P) due to its larger size.</span>
Upon calculating, I'm nearly certain that the answer is "...to a height of 1.4 meters." Happy to assist!:)
Answer:
d_total = 12 m
Explanation:
In this kinematics scenario illustrated in the graph provided, we determine the distance traveled over a 24-second duration.
The comprehensive distance can be calculated as follows:
d_total = d₁ + d₂ + d₃
Given that d₂ on the graph is level (v=0), its distance equates to zero, hence d₂ = 0.
The distance for d₁ is calculated as:
d₁ = 12 - 6 = 6 m
For distance d₃:
d₃ = 6 - 0 = 6 m
Thus, the overall distance covered is:
d_total = 6 + 0 + 6
d_total = 12 m
